(Prolonged cheering and ap- plause.) At the close of Mr. Elliott's ad- dress, Dr. W. A. McCarthy arose and seconded the nomination of Mr. Har- rison. "He is one of the cleanest candi- dates ever placed before the people of Kingston," said the doctor, amidst loud applause. He appealed t& the citizens to give him their warm sup- port The nomination was then made a unani his vote, Ald. Harrjson alone kept his seat, and he was smiling. It was an ova- tion any man might well be proud of. After the applause had subsided, Col. Kent then tendered the nomina- tion to Mr. Harrison, and in doing so sald: "You have been selected to carry the itberal banner to victory. Every liberal will be behind you in the fight, and I am confident you will be elected." us one, every man rising to t at the call of the chair to -- Candidate's Speech The applause continued for sev- eral minutes, when Ald. Harrison arose to reply, and thank the gather- ing for the honor conferred upon him. He sald he would be less than human, if he did not feel his position and say "yes to the offer made to him. He thanked Ald. Elliott and the seconder of the motion, but re- gretied that Ald. Elliott had found it necessary to decline the nomina- tion. "1 have been a liberal ever since I was a boy," said Ald. Harrison, "My father has been a liberal, and is one yet, and he is quite an old man. The other day I went out to see him and he said to me, 'Boy, If you run, you won't be defeated." Gentlemen, in accepting this nomination I pro- mise you that I will do everything hat it within reason." ted ak za al ce . refer- 1 issues the independent stand which liad been taken by politicians on dif- ferent questions. He referred to the independent stand taken by Messrs. McLean, Nickle and Bennett on the C. N. R. question, showing the split. of independence in the conser- vative ranks. He referred to the fact that 9,000 conservatives had just recently petitioned Premier Whitney, and expressed their approv- al of Mr. Rowell's "abolish the bar" policy. Promlér Whitney was too hard to bend in this matter. The premier had been "cornered" om oth- er matters, 28 well. In Toronto to- day, the liberal party had forty-five per cent. on their side, while fifty-five per cent. was on the other side. This Was 4 very narrow majority. While the opposition had seventy-five per cent of the representation, a great part of it wil by a very narrow ma- jority, and it would not take a very large percentage of the independent vole to bring about a change. int Time for a Change Speaking about local conditions, Ald. Harrison -stated that he was more than delighted over the organ- ization of the Young Liberal club. The organization was filled with youhg blood and he felt sure that the "old guards" of the party would be "tickled to death' with the result of the local contest. He declared that Mr. Rowell had the best platform. However, there were other good reasons why the -presént government should be turned out, and a more progressive govern- ment given the reins of office. The speaker had been reading up the re- ports of the government, and had been able to learn a great deal. Mr. Rowell been calling for various invest! and examinations, but the promise simply stood in a corner with a club as it were, to beat him off. ere Ald. Harrison: took oc- known him for 4uany years through |" transactions. business "I do mot know to-day, of a man in polities or cut of politics that I would an i utore implicitly with a plece of Lusiness or take his word than Mr. Rowell," added Ald. Har- rison. "He iz as true as steel." records were gone into, it would be found that the present government had been spending money too fast. It was altogether out of proportion, 'and one could not help but recognize the fact that a government with sue a big majority did just about what they liked. He referred particularly to the new Eoviruinedt house being built in Toronto. had paid a visit to the buildingsPwiten he re- garded as altogether beyond the needs of the province. He had tra- velled abroad extensively, and would say that kings and queens lived in no finer building. The sum of $400,- 000 had been voted for it, while $100,000 would have been ample. Although the cost had been esti- mated on a basis of $400,000, the government had come bagk with a request for $200,000 more. Then the total amount was raised to $825,- 000, and it. was not completed yet, as it had not been furmished. It would surely cost over a million dol- lars. In addition to the cpst, the location of the building, whith over- looked the Don, had been criticized. The speaker referred to the whole undertaking as a reckless piece of expense. And in the face of all the hard times, the government had ask- ed for more money to go ou with the work. Regarding the question of tax re- form, the speaker warmly supperted all Ex-Ald. Elliott had sald on the question. He was a property owner himself, and was quite willing to stand for such legislation. Referring to the Workmen's Com- pensation act, the speaker said that the conservative party had taken all the credit for this piece of legisla-| tion, while Mr. Rowell had been the] father of it. It was one of the planks |¥ of the liberal party. Mr. Rowell had!*® advanced many other things of value to the people. He had advocated a labor bureau in order that labor should have a voice and receive fair play. ' He had also urged the de- velopment of New Ontario - which would mean much for Kingston, in that it would mean that more goods would be shipped out of the city. An Economic Question. Ald, Harrison ,in dealing with the abolition of the bar, stated that ic must be treated as a social and economic problem which must be faced. Anything that' tended to weaken labor and would curtail the ps of an industry, could not ly ion. Mr."Mowat, late of Kingston, had once said to the speaker "the party that tdkes up the temperance question will be a winner. In a few years the temperance wave will cov- er the entire continent. It was al- ready taking hold, and the speaker regarded Mr. Mowat as a prophet. "There is one thing we want to consider and that is chat our party of to-day is in the re-making. . We are not leaving the liberal princip- les but we are adding to them and making changes. The man who says he never 'makes a' mistake never makes anything else} If we can dev- elop and lift up the reform party we will be doing a great service for! Ontario and Canada. (Cheers.) | Touching oa 'the labor Question, | Ald. "Harrison 'said that Mis sym- pathy for labor came from experi- ence, and not from reading books. He himself had to toll hard early and late and Knew what it was to labor hard. In City Council e had voted for higher wages to the laboring man and had also mov- ed to have .thé assessors inquire in- to high rents. He had also moved for the appointment of the Board of Conciliation in Kingston to deal! with all labor troubles, as he reali- zed that no person suffered more from a strike than the strikers themselves. In his closing remarks AN. Harrison said he considered Tr a great honor to follow behind Mr. Rowell and his policy. From now on he would devote all his time ta politics. The speaker was warmly applauded as he sat down, » Other Addresses. After Ald.' Harrison's address chairman called pon N. C, Polson, jr" president of the Young liberal Club, and the latter spoke briefly. He congratulated the association un their selection of a candidate and assured Ald. Harrison of the warm support of the Young Liberal Club in the ap- the casion to a personal reference to Mr. Rowell, stating that he had' proaching election.

In the immediate vicinity of an election," the conservatives pose as great friends of the labour interests. But everybody hasn't the greatest faith in these professiops. Allen Stiidholme, the only labour member in the Ontario house, does not sup- port the Whitney government. He is an honest conscientious man, not a partizan, but a thorough bred lab- our 'member. The sympathy with his ambitions for the amelioration of labour conditions of conservatives is, not marked. Recently, while Mr. in the houge the eight-hour day, Sir James Whitney's conservative supporigrs walked out of the chamber.. Friends of the Whitney government dlaim that that government has abolished the contract system of prison lab- our. The Ross government had made a 'beginain pot abolishing this sys- Son, Whe (t he conservatives came into hn Hon. Mr. Hanna thought {the contract system was a fine thing {reversed the policy of the late gov- ernment, and made the celebrated contract with Clfarlotte Taylor & company for the manufacture 'of woodenware, by which prison labour was let to this firm at the abnor- mally low price of 30 cents per day ~--with nothing to pay for rent, tax- es, fuel, light, ete. It was the strong condemnation which this contract excited which led Mr. Hanna to in- vestigate prison methods elsewhere and theny and not till then, did the present government inaugurate its present policy. Mr. Hanna, instead of gaining ory from Lis dealing with the priSon contract labour sys- tem, has been blackened very much in the estimation of. honest men through his prostitution of it to partizan purposes. It was Mr. Han- na who tapped the pockets of Mr. George Taylor, a prison contractor, for $500 for the conservative cam- paign fund, and it was the refusal of the government to permit investi- gation of the evident crookedness connected with this incident that has put the stain on Mr. Hanna's political character, which will never fade till thoroughly investgated -- it it can do so--removes the stain.
